Health commitment’s associations with health outcomes are independent of health behaviours: insights from a cross-sectional population health survey in Singapore
These findings underscore the importance of assessing and addressing health commitment in healthcare practice and policy. Strategies to enhance health commitment hold potential for improving health behaviours and health outcomes, thereby contributing to overall well-being. However, it is important to note that the cross-sectional nature of this study does not allow for confirmation of causal pathways. Hence, longitudinal studies are needed to further clarify these relationships and their potential impact on overall well-being.
